End-of-Pregnancy Monitoring at CHUMEFJE through the Functional Investigation Centre (FIC) in 2022 ()
ABSTRACT
Introduction: The end of pregnancy is a high-risk period for both mother and foetus.
Rigorous monitoring can prevent complications before delivery. Materials and
Method: We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional observational study. It
took place in the delivery room of the Teacher hospital Mother and Child of
Jeanne Ebori Fondation from the 01 October 2020 to 01 October 2021. All
patients followed at the Functional Investigation Centre (FIC) of the CHUMEFJE
and who gave birth in that same hospital were included. Data were collected on the basis of pregnancy diaries,
the fic register and delivery room registers. They were analysed using SPSS
Statistical Software. Results: During the period of our study, 4086
parturients arrived in the delivery room. Of these, 150 were followed up at the
FIC, giving a prevalence of 3.7%. The majority of parturients (48%) had
only one prenatal contact. 6 (4%)
patients underwent pelvic scans, and 4 (2.6%)
presented with a narrowed pelvis. A vaginal delivery was performed in 80% of
cases, and of the caesarean sections, 9 (30%) could be scheduled. The maternal
prognosis was marred by one post-partum complication of hypertension, and
newborns with poor adaptation to life outside the womb accounted for 3.3% of
cases. Conclusion: The Functional Investigation Centre makes it possible
to detect anomalies at the end of pregnancy with a view to better
planning of delivery.
